Nerds and geeks get to be the cool kids at this mashup of cosplay, drag, and pure spectacle. Dress up, show out, and watch the chaos unfold on stage — it's the kind of event that celebrates everyone who's ever felt more at home in a fantasy than the real world.

Monday nights at Powerhouse belong to Glamamore and crew—a rotating cast of drag performers, fresh beats, and live crafting energy that turns the dance floor into something between a show and a party. Expect performance and play to blur together in the leather district's most unapologetic nightclub, with the energy building as the night goes on.

Wednesday nights at Powerhouse belong to those who know what they're looking for — a packed sling room, a leather-positive crowd, and an atmosphere that doesn't apologize for what it is. This is where the scene comes to play.

San Francisco's longest-running underwear party keeps Thursday nights at Powerhouse exactly as they should be — minimal clothes, maximum cruising, and a dance floor that doesn't quit. Underwear drink specials, free coat check, and rotating go-go dancers set the mood, while a crew of longtime hosts keeps the energy up all night. Raw, unapologetic, and true to the leather district's roots — this is the real deal for anyone looking to dance, cruise, and connect.

San Francisco's infamous Ripe Pit night returns on the 4th Friday of every month — a music-forward gathering where pit pigs, pups, and perverts converge at Powerhouse to soak in the heady aromas, deep sounds, and the energy of the Pit Crew. Stank has traveled the West Coast, to New York, and beyond, but this is where it all started. Raw, unapologetic, and exactly what the leather community shows up for.

A celebration centered on Black and Brown queer and trans folks in leather and kink spaces. This is your moment to connect with community, explore your identity, and experience the raw authenticity that Powerhouse is known for — no pretense, just real connection in a space that's been holding down San Francisco's leather heritage for decades.
